What to do
Orbaz Bloodbane at the Scarlet Tavern in New Avalon has ordered you to kill the Scarlet Courier and retrieve the Scarlet Courier's Belongings and the Scarlet Courier's Message.
Objective by objective
- Collect Scarlet Courier's Belongings item #39646
- Collect Scarlet Courier's Message item #39647
The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.
The quest giver's words
While you were out burning churches and murdering vermin, I've been busy formulating a plan.
The Scarlet courier is scheduled to pass by the Scarlet Overlook within the hour. The roads by the overlook are wide open and swarming with Crusaders. Use this makeshift cover to hide at the overlook and wait for the Scarlet Courier to pass. When he's close enough, strike with all your fury! Cut him down and take his belongings - including his clothes!
The overlook is 200 paces east of here.
Progress
You're going to miss the courier and then I'm going to be forced to kill you. By forced I mean I will take great pleasure in ending your life.
HURRY UP!
Completion
<Orbaz reads the message.>
The armies of Hearthglen and Tirisfal will be marching into a massacre.
<Orbaz smiles.>
Now for the second part of the plan. You're going to deliver this message right into the hands of High General Abbendis. That's what the clothes are for...

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Plaguelands: The Scarlet Enclave), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
